Dominican cuisine is a flavorful mix of Spanish, African, and Taíno influences. Start with “Me gustaría pedir…” (I’d like to order…). Must-try dishes include mangu (mashed plantains) and sancocho (seven-meat stew). For rum, the national spirit, try “Mamajuana”. “Provecho” wishes others a good meal. “Dame un chin” asks for a small amount. Tipping 10% is customary in restaurants. “La cuenta, por favor” gets you the bill. Enjoy the lively atmosphere of Dominican eateries!
